How to Include Family History in Every Family Home Evening

This week, I wrote a guest post for the Chicken Scratch n Sniff blog – a resource for strengthening families and teaching in LDS wards. In the post I talked about how our family has started sharing stories with our kids each Monday night about ourselves, grandparents, and other ancestors to help illustrate the topics we’re teaching for Family Home Evening. Grandma Nona being a good samaritan, an answer to prayer on Grandpa’s mission, and so on. It’s made our learning time on Monday night so much more meaningful!

My 5 year old son asked me after his prayer one night, “Mom, can anyone hear me?” I told him that Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers, and he said, “no way, really? He can answer me? Mom, has that ever happened to you? What did it sound like?”
